Chapter 81
After school started, Darren and the others began their search for Nicolas Flamel in the library again.
Although they no longer held any expectations.
But they still fantasized a little that maybe they would get news of this person in the next second.
At that time, maybe they would know what Dumbledore had hidden in that room at the end of the fourth-floor corridor.
However, everything was unfavorable. There was no progress.
Wood even brought Harry a sad piece of news. Snape would be the referee for the next Quidditch match. Harry almost cried.
He felt Snape wanted his life.
"Last time he wanted my life... yes, yes, Darren, you're right, it might not be Snape who wants my life.
But he is going to be the referee now, he really wants my life. If Quidditch can't be won, how is this any different from wanting my life?"
When Harry told Darren and the others the news, he almost cried.
Perhaps his voice was too loud, and he was miserably kicked out by Madam Pince.
Fortunately, Darren and the others followed him out, which made Harry look not so pitiful.
"It's okay, actually you look at Professor Snape as fierce, but the professor is a good person.
As long as you don't provoke him and stay away from him, there will be no problems at all... really, I'm not lying to you..."
Just as Darren was constantly comforting Harry, he saw Malfoy standing at the library door, pointing his wand at Neville.
[Ding, a scenario where the Saint Father System can function has been detected near the host. A temporary mission is now issued: Walk in front of Neville, point your wand at Malfoy, and say angrily: Malfoy, if you bully Neville again, I will tell Professor Snape!]
[Ding, upon completion of the mission, you will receive Neville’s Herbology Talent. Does the host accept the mission?]
[Accept!] Darren immediately stood out.
He quickly walked to Malfoy’s side, blocked Neville behind him, and said angrily: "Malfoy, why do you always bully Neville? If you bully him again, I will tell Professor Snape and have him put you in detention!"
His expression was very serious, looking as if he were about to cast a dark curse on Malfoy, yet the words he said made people smile with goodwill.
The most vicious method this child could think of was detention?
[Ding, congratulations to the host for completing the mission, you have received Neville’s Herbology Talent] Neville’s Herbology Talent: After use, Herbology Talent +15. Huh?
This
Is Neville’s Herbology Talent already this high?
Although Darren knew from the original work that Neville was very suitable for Herbology, he really didn't expect Neville’s Herbology Talent to be as high as 15 at this time.
Neville had never shown anything too amazing in Herbology class, leading Darren to always think that Neville’s Herbology Talent was at most 10.
Well, maybe Neville’s Herbology Talent was 10 at the beginning of the school year, and now it’s 15.
His previous Herbology Talent was 3, which he added to 10 with talent points, plus Neville’s 15 points of talent, he now had 25 points of talent.
Clearly, in the second grade, his Herbology Talent was also at a genius level.
He thought excitedly.
Then he saw Malfoy’s face twisted with anger.
This guy looked at his expression as if he were a scumbag who had bullied someone. He tilted his head in confusion.
Then he saw Malfoy storming away with Crabbe and Goyle.
Before leaving, they also viciously threatened Neville, saying they would definitely deal with him.
"It's over, Malfoy must hate me to death."
Neville said crying.
He looked at Malfoy’s expression as if he were looking at a demon.
"Neville, you have to be brave!"
Hermione walked over angrily to cheer Neville up.
She had never thought that there would be someone like Malfoy in the magical world who specifically bullied others!
"Neville, summon your courage and knock him down!"
Ron gave Neville advice from the side.
Neville shook his head and said sadly: "I have no courage at all. I don't even know how I was sorted into Gryffindor. In fact, I think Hufflepuff is more suitable for me!"
[Ding, a scenario where the Saint Father System can function has been detected near the host. A temporary mission is now issued: Comfort Neville and make him happy...]
[Ding, upon completion of the mission, you will receive Animal Affinity Talent +2. Does the host accept the mission?]
Huh? Animal Affinity Talent again. Darren was a little curious.
But he immediately clicked accept.
He walked to Neville’s side, took a Chocolate Frog out of his pocket, and stuffed it into Neville’s hand.
He said seriously: "Neville, a few days ago when Malfoy was bullying a Hufflepuff student, you stood up for them.
Even if you were afraid, you stood in front of that classmate, which is why Malfoy has been bullying you every day during this time.
So, how can you say you have no courage?
Neville, you are a hero, a hero just like my brother!"
Neville’s face turned red.
It was the first time he had been praised like this.
His grandmother always liked to say he was too stupid, had no courage, and was cowardly.
But Darren told him that he had been very heroic in the past and was also a hero, just like Harry Potter.
"I, I just, just didn't want to see him bullying people..."
Neville said stutteringly.
However, Darren had already put his hand on his shoulder and said excitedly: "I understand, but that doesn't hide your courage. Come, eat this Chocolate Frog, you will definitely become even braver!"
[Ding, congratulations to the host for completing the mission, you have received Animal Affinity Talent +21]
Neville looked much happier.
He picked up the Chocolate Frog and stuffed it into his mouth.
Feeling the jumping in his mouth, he narrowed his eyes happily.
"Card, Dumbledore’s... I don't know if you collect these cards, Darren, I already have several of Dumbledore’s."
Neville handed the card to Darren and left happily.
"I already have many of Dumbledore’s cards, too many, I suggest you just throw them away, Darren!"
Ron curled his lips, not liking Dumbledore cards. He hoped to collect a whole set of celebrity cards.
"Forget it, I like Professor Dumbledore very much... Huh? Ron, fortunately, I didn't listen to you, I think I found Nicolas Flamel!"
